I’m so sorry 😔😢 remember u are loved and not alone🤗🙏 make sure to spend time and connect with people that support you and do understand ocd, like the support groups here on nocd, they have them everyday of the week💝 if u feel comfortable, at some point share with your family that it hurts u when they act like that, you can even write it out in a note instead of face to face if thats more comfortable 🤗 remember to be extra kind to yourself and practice self compassion skills , treating yourself like u would a good friend going thru same thing as you are🤗🙏 also, it’s ok to take some space away from them when u need to. Praying for you and sending hugs, hang in there🤗🙏💝

I’m truly sorry ocd especially SO-OCD is no joke. You aren’t alone I promise and just remember things will get better even if it doesn’t feel like it now. I’m rooting for you. You got this!!

How to react to family who does not understand OCD
I am married and neither,my husband or children understand what it feels like to have OCD. I have had it for some time now. Sometimes ig gets better while other times it acts up and feels just awful!! During these especially awful times I worry more, voice what I am worried about, and just feels depressed. I got even more depressed whwn my family members insult me because of my ocd. I know I should not voice my worries etc ask I am thinking that is a,compulsion but sometimes I do. I regret it afterward,cuz nothing food really happens as a result. More often I am judged, called names and then I really get depressed!!!! It sometimes tanes me days to feel better acter one of those wpisodes! I guess besides not viucing my worries what can I do in a family that does so ma y things that upset me....and it would wvwn if I did nit have ocd!!! I meant WE all have to live together and trust me....there are things they so that for sure woyld have bothered me way before I had o d! ,They would bother the father and son on the TV show Sanford and Son!!! How so I just,live in same house,all the,whike pretending those things,don't bother me? I meant I am the mom. Don't I get some say so without being called names etc?

Ocd relapse
Today is Easter and it was supposed to be low key for me and my family but my mom invited a family member that bothers my ocd alot and now they are on their way here and I'm freaking out I already had a panic attack (still having it) and my family is not helping either they keep making comments about how they just want one holiday with no problems and some other comments and it's like I'm sorry I'm not normal like my siblings I didn't ask to be like this now I'm just hurt, upset and I locked myself in my room for the rest of day. (And I was doing so good with erp and this is like making me have a ocd relapse)

Hi
So I was at a family thing yesterday and my ice was bothering me and I kept washing my hands and my family noticed and started making fun of me for it and it was like non stop it made me feel really alone especially since they clearly know something’s up but they just make it worse instead of at least trying to help😕
